kradview is a viewer of medical images obtained for different sources: X-ray, NMR and all DICOM-compatible imaging devices.
This software aims to be an easy to use DICOM viewer with instant rendering of images, irrespective of the size and the zoom of the DICOM image. It meets the “let’s see the the X-ray image” need of the medical professional.
kradview’s aim is to be a complete platform for medical imaging and image processing. Whilst the software is currently in an early stage of development, it is used to view radiological images and its metadata in several medical centres.
The software was developed by David Santo Orcero as part of his work on his Ph.D, but the rendering performance has been enhanced by David del Rio Medina.
Features include:
- Information option provides the TaglistBase (metadata).
- Various levels of zoom.
